    The hipster "collaborates" for several weeks about what kind of scripting language should be used for the project before writing any code. If/when any code is produced it runs unacceptably slow. This can be fixed by throwing more hardware at it because "developers are expensive". Analysis of the hipster code will likely turn up something like an exponential algorithm for which a linear solution is available. It's all good because we used the latest and the greatest though. Throw more hardware at it. How does the pork-pie hat look? I'm wearing it to $ScriptingLanguage Con.

    Too funny. But true
